How about individual service provider pages on docs.ofbiz.org?

[David E Jones-3]

OFBiz will run fine on Java 6, but that is not well supported on all  
platforms and has various backward compatibility problems, so for now  
we've decided not to require it.

After the upcoming release branch (should happen tonight actually...)  
we may very well decide to require Java 6 or later.

BTW, one small comments about the Java 5 EOL: Sun has run into  
significant issues with Java 7 because they have tried to make it look  
more community driven (with open source, the JCP, etc) and many people  
trying to help with Java are frustrated by Sun still doing whatever  
they want, and so are blocking progress on Java 7. It appears that  
part of the reason for the sooner than expected EOL of Java 5 is that  
Sun wants to do what they can to push back.
